It's interesting how I strongly disagreed with you before reading the linked blog post, but I fully agree with you after reading it.

I still rather think of "git branches" as the technically correct "just refs" and hold the separate-but-related human-only concept of "development branch" in my head. I don't think there's a better approximation of truth than that, nor do I think it's that more complex to understand.

But the fact these two concepts share the same name truly is confusing. One would do better to refer to the former as "bookmark" or "branch tip".
